Autumn fanatics, assemble! Starbucks has confirmed when its pumpkin spice latte will return to the UK – and it's SO soon.
Yep, we all know autumn is here when the iconic PSL returns, and it's now just days away.
Starbucks has confirmed that the PSL will return on Thursday 1 September.
Advert
For those who are unaware (where have you been?), the PSL is essentially espresso with steamed milk and flavoured with a delectable spice mix, made up of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
The drink is topped with whipped cream, should you choose it, along with more pumpkin-pie spices.
And if that wasn't exciting enough, this year, Starbucks has added another item to its menu – the pumpkin cream cold brew.
Following heaps of success in the US, the new drink is made with Starbucks cold brew, infused with flavours of vanilla and topped with silky pumpkin cream foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice topping for an extra taste of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
We are drooling.
Speaking of the new addition, Just Cluysenaer, Food and Beverage Director, said: “Each year, our customers eagerly anticipate the return of the PSL, knowing that it officially marks the change in season.
“We’ve already made great advances in cold coffee innovation, and with a growing number of our customers drinking their coffee iced all year round, this year we are delighted to introduce a new iced, pumpkin beverage.
"Combining two of our customer’s favourite tastes, iconic pumpkin spice and our refreshing cold brew, each sip of pumpkin cream cold brew will deliver the familiar, creamy flavour of pumpkin spice followed by the uplifting coffee flavour of Starbucks® cold brew”.
As well as the brand new PSL range, Starbucks has also unveiled its autumn menu, which sees the return of the iced salted maple and caramel latte.
It features a blend of milk, Starbucks Blonde® Espresso Roast and salted maple sauce, served over ice and topped with a delicious caramel crunch topping.
Meanwhile, there's some new foodie options, too, including the brand new egg bites with three cheese and ham.
Ham, cream cheese, mature cheddar and gouda are combined and folded into eggs and are cooked using the French 'sous-vide' technique to create a velvety texture.
There's also an American deli meats focaccia, a mushroom and egg muffin and a fiery no' chicken wrap to try. For something sweet, you can also get your hands on the toffee and apple muffin, with a mouthwatering butter crumble topping, custard vanilla bean frosting and a caramel drizzle.
Bring on 1 September!
